In PR I always had to have my graphics on all Low. I was wondering if PR was more optimized to help with reducing the load so I can up the settings a little. I have not tested this on the v9 release and was wondering if I could do it.
Card (I know, its old):
Nvidia GeForce 7900 GS
Processor:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 2.40GHz
RAM:
2GB
OS:
Windows Vista Home Premium (32bit)
Question about Graphics.

Re: Question about Graphics.
the combination of 2gb RAM and vista puts alot of strain on what you can achieve visually with PR.
the video card could be better, but the RAM is your main issue at this moment.
to run PR well with that computer you need to do all the tricks.
disk defrag+cleanup, turn your audio quality down ingame, use the nvidia control panel to optimise your graphics.
try game booster as well,
Game Booster | Fast Game Accelerator | Free Accelerator
.9 is quite resource intensive,give it a go and see how well it works

Re: Question about Graphics.
Ram is relatively cheap, get 2 more gigs and you sohuld be fine.

Re: Question about Graphics.
I got 1048Mb in my Nvidia video card 2Gb RAM, still using low. But it doesn't really matter, because graphic settings don't affect playability.

Re: Question about Graphics.
you have a better system than I do, and I run PR on everything high and it runs smooth as silk. The only difference is I use XP instead of vista. My system has:
core2 dup E6400 2.13ghz
Nvidia 7950GT 512mb
2 gigs ram
Win XP home edition
Windows vista must be really dragging you down. And seeing as how vista completely sucks, you should either downgrade to XP or maybe upgrade to 7 {dont know if that would make things better or worse I dont know if 7 is a resource hog}
edit: I must be dyslexic, I thought I read you have a 9700GS as opposed to a 7900GS. But I still think our hardware configurations are more or less the same.

The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end... "

Re: Question about Graphics.
Grilo don't threadjack.
I turned my sound quality to low and set the graphics at all medium with AA at x2 and it runs smooth. Now im going to turn up the quality of sound and see if it still runs smooth

Re: Question about Graphics.
So putting AA up to x2 makes it smoother?
